Optional extra climbs in the park - Scribbly Gums and Tunks Hill. For those not interested in extra climbs just roll down to the weir and have a 5min rest while the keen climbers burn some calories.
An early start to beat the heat and we should be back at Eastwood by 9 -9:30am - on the way out we will travel via Talavera Rd, avoiding morning rush traffic around Macquarie.
Ride from Eastwood to enjoy a pleasant ride through Lane Cove Park with a coffee stop at West Lindfield or Eden Gardens.
From Eastwood we ride up Vimiera Road to Macquarie University. After riding through the university campus we follow roads around Macquarie Centre to reach Lane Cove Park. We then enjoy a tranquil ride through the park. After crossing the weir we discover a little used service road (Depot Road) which allows us to reach West Lindfield via a short sharp climb, We then return to Eastwood via the Shrimpton Creek Trail . As the ride features a few climbs we can enjoy guilt free coffee and cake.
